Trying something new

So I’m sure you can tell from my other posts, I usually go by the title of ‘Dancer’. I have always been a dancer and this is how many know me. Since being crowned Miss Teen GTA-World, I have been exploring many different oppertunities; one of which is modeling. I am very new at all of this, and  I am slowly learning this skill and art form.

I had the chance to work with a family friend to take some pictures and have a little fun at the same time. Modeling can sometimes reveal your insecurities, and sometimes make a person feel self-conscious. These insecuries can reveal the true beauty of a person. So I decided to have open myself up to this experience, and show off a bit of my personality. I am definately a more outgoing person who loves to joke around. So here is a bit of me. Not all pictures have to be serious, cause Girls just wanna have fun!

Having some fun

One of my goals as Miss Teen Gta-World and a hopeful of Miss Teen Canada-World (fingers crossed) is to work with girls my age and younger and be able to really open up to them. When I was younger I struggled with many issues of bullying, but I was lucky as it shaped me into the strong individual I believe I am today. The opportunity that this pageant gives me as an individual, also gives me a much bigger opportunity to outreach. I hope that my journey may touch the lives of other girls to live their dreams, try new things, and live to their potential. Every girl can do amazing things!

 

Getting there

Choosing to overcome my insecurities changed this experience. I had some fun, then I put myself to work. I hope that I can continue to learn from these experiences, and share my stories with other girls. I hope that every girl will have an opportunity like this; in whichever way they wish. Whether it is taking a dance class, playing in a soccor game, or performing in a play. Everyone deserves a chance at their dreams, and it is one of my goals as a leader in my community to make these chances occur.

 
Thank you for your continued support, and I’ll be posting again in the next few days!

Happy Easter!

Hi Everyone, Miss Teen GTA here!

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe Easter! Easter is one of my favourite holidays, partly for the chocolate, but it is also a time I get to spend with my family. I am so close with my family and am so thankful that I get to see them as much as I do. I am having my family dinner on Saturday, and I can’t wait to see my niece Stella! I hope you all get a chance to see your family and enjoy celebrating Easter.

Last weekend I had the opportunity to compete in a Dance competition called ‘Galaxy of Stars’. I will post pictures soon! It was a great opportunity to dance on stage with so many talented dancers and compete with some of the best from the GTA. Congratulations to some of our girls with the highest overall score, Cosmic Love. It was stunning. A2Y Dance Inc. did incredible and I am so proud to be a part of the team. We are off to St. Catherine’s pretty soon, and I am hoping we will be just as successful, if not more!

Well, bye for now. Coming up I will be blogging about some stuff that I am very excited about, so I hope you’ll come back and check it out! Thanks,

Christina Logan Miss Teen GTA-World

Christina Logan, Miss Teen GTA-World 2012

Hi there! My name is Christina Logan, from Keswick Ontario and I hold the title of Miss Teen GTA.

I am seventeen years old, and currently enrolled at Huron Heights Secondary School.

I am a passionate, caring, and ambitious girl who loves meeting new people and also spending time with my close family and friends.

I love to dance, cheerlead and read. Dancing has been my passion for as long as I can remember, and it is my dream to pursue it as a career. This is my favorite picture of me dancing

I also have a dog that I adore! His name is Marty, and he is the best Yorkie-Poo. Here he is

My beloved puppy dog

 Currently I dance at A2Y Dance Inc. I spend most of my free time at the studio and love my dance family. I am also captain of my cheerleading team, and enjoy working with so many enthusiastic girls. The physicality needed in these two sports (yes sports) has taught me discipline and a love for personal fitness. I think everyone at some point in their life should put on a pair of ballet shoes and get thrown up into the air.

This year I have applied to York University, Ryerson, and George Brown college in hopes of being trained as a professional performance dancer. I know that this is my life, and I am hoping that one of these schools will set forth a path for me to follow as a career. I also look forward to teaching dance to show my love and appreciation for this art form. The type of dance that I excel in, and would like to explore further are ballet and contemporary dance.  

My cheerleading team means so much to me and I put so much effort into making this team the best it can be! We have done very well in competitions, including an invite only competition at the Rogers Centre, and we came first! These girls became my first friends in high school, and I make it my goal as captain to make every girl feel just as welcome and special as I did.

My goal as Miss Teen GTA-World, and hopefully Miss Teen Canada-World, is to reach out to youth who have suffered or in some way felt the consequences of bullying. Having a personal experience, I know what it is like to be alone in a time where you need support. I hope that in some way I can inspire teens, and make a change in my region.

Please follow me on my journey to Miss Teen Canada-World 2012 through my blog and my facebook page!

Talk to you very soon,

Christina Logan – Miss Teen GTA-World 2012

Popsicles

Hey everyone, I have a great way of keeping cool this summer. With homemade POPSICLES ! They are Nutritious and Delicious. There is so many different Popsicle combinations you can try like fruits, veggies, yogurt and they ALL taste great! With a little fun and creativity you can make these treats in a few easy steps.

Watermelon  Yummies

Today I will share with you my favorite Popsicle recipe. It is fun to make, delicious to eat, and great on those hot summer days.

Items Needed…

  • Watermelon
  • A knife
  • A blender
  • 1 table spoon of honey

 

Step 1. Use the Knife to slice and seed the watermelon (or a portion of the watermelon). Small chunks work best.

Step 2. Then, puree the pieces and honey in a blender.

Step 3. Fill a popsicle mold with the resulting puree, and freeze.

Now its time to wait…………………??????(This is the hardest part)…………….??????…………

Yummy

There you go a 3 step treat that’s worth the wait.Very simple and yummy. I don’t call it Watermelon Yummies for nothing!

Hope you like the recipe as much as I do, good luck and have fun :)

Popsicle molds by Onyx Containers

Tips: Good popsicle molds are hard to find but the new sponsor of MTC-W, Onyx Containers has popsicle molds that are made from 18/8 stainless steel. This fast freeze mold is easy to use, easy to clean, and will last you a life time. Designed so that one popsicle can be removed (or re-filled) at a time. Simply hold the mold in your hand for a moment, or run under warm water briefly. (Not too long, it will release very quickly.)
Each set comes with one stand, 6 molds, 6 lids and 12 removable silicone rings. The rings ensure proper stick placement. No more tilted stick, or sunken sticks.

Chenika in Paris


13 year old Canadian Chenika Stewart goes on vacation in Paris when she is discovered by  famous director and agent Holly Deacon. Holly transforms her into the talk of Paris from billboards, to magazines her face is every where. Being the new and young, fresh face of Rimmel makeup, she has photo shoots  and interviews every weekend. The busy girl finds a way to stay a teen while living out her dreams. The famous fashionista struts the streets of Paris with all her high fashion styles such as Jeanne Lottie brand of hand bags and accessories.

With the french language barrier in her way she gets herself in to  some bizarre situation that are quit laughable.  The funny, corky, cute, little diva’s life gets crazy when she is asked to star in a movie. Will she say yes and live out her life long dream of becoming an actress, but risking leaving her friends and family behind, or will she say no and finish her high school education, but always wonder “What could have been?” Find out when you watch the show Chenika in Paris.

 

This TV show will be an hour long reality series on every Friday from 6pm to 7pm. The show will have a combination of humor, drama, fun, and the intensity of a young Canadian teenage girls life in Paris.

Miss Teen Canada World 2010 sponsors Jeanne Lottie and Rimmel would fund Chenika in Paris because it highlights great modeling, advertising for both market and brands and has a great story line

.

Many teenage girls would appeal to this television series due to the fact that Chenika is so young and is doing a lot of work for her age. It will send the message across that it does not matter what age you are if you are determined, and confident you can achieve if you believe.
